Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
The data for Part 1 were derived from the University of California Undergraduate Experience Survey, which was sent in 2016 to every undergraduate student at UC Berkeley, with a 33 percent response rate. That survey found that 42.5 percent of respondents had performed some sort of community service or volunteer activity. The data from the survey are representative of the larger campus and were extrapolated to the larger student population.
The data for Part 2 originated from the campus Public Service Center. The center found that in the 2017-18 school year, 5,500 students performed a total of 165,000 hours of community service - for an average of 30 hours a year. That number was then multiplied by the estimated number of students who had performed community service.
